[Aztlan] New photos of the Sipan tomb

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

I posted a story earlier about a very ancient tomb of an early Sipan  
dynast uncovered in August. At EnPeru, new and very good photos of the  
tomb have been posted shown with the striking owl ceramics found in  
the tomb.

Oldest Sipan Ancestor Uncovered

The tomb of a Mochica noble or warrior has been uncovered in the Huaca  
Rajada in Lambayeque. The remains would be the oldest ancestor of the  
Sipan dynasty discovered so far. The Lord of Sipan was found here in  
1987 and this new grave dates to the beginning of the Sipan dynasty.  
It now appears that the dynasty stretches much further back than was  
believed.
